Web/iPhone/Android: Songza takes a slightly different approach to streaming music, choosing your music based on how you want to feel rather than picking a genre or artist.

On its own, it isn't all that different from Pandora, Last.fm, and all the other recommendation engines out there, except in the way you pick your music. When you first visit Songza, it'll offer you a few choices through its Concierge feature. By detecting the day of the week (which you can change), it'll offer you a number of "moods", like "Waking Up", "Working Out", "Energy Boost", "Work or Study (No Lyrics)", and others. From there, you can choose a genre (which helps you weed out the ones you don't like, like Country, Rap, or Indie) and it'll play songs from the chosen genre that fit the mood you want to invoke. It's a pretty cool way to create a quick playlist for whatever you're feeling. Hit the link below to check it out.
